Tauranga Girl Geek Dinners Launch!
January 28, 2009 News No Comments
Sun, sea, sand and surfing is what Tauranga, NZ is all about! Surfing the web has also caught on and Tauranga’s IT industry is booming. In the sunny Bay of Plenty, Tauranga’s close-knit IT community has it’s fair share of Girl Geeks, so it was only natural that the Tauranga branch of Girl Geek Dinners would come to fruition. Our first dinner was on 27th November 2008 and was a great success, and our second dinner is Thursday 19th February – bring it on!

January 22, 2009 News Comments OffThe second Northern Virginia Girl Geek Dinner on December 17, 2008 was another roaring success. Over 20 women braved the cold and winter holiday rush to attend a wonderful talk and discussion led by Julie Lerman, http://www.thedatafarm.com. Everyone shared their thoughts on professionalism in the work place, what makes women special in a technology field, and future focuses for WIT. Thank you to Julie for making the trip down from Vermont to share her experiences!
